I agree as far as lightweight bikes go.
But the Amflow isn’t fit for purpose for me, its not a solid enough build - flexy frame, 36 forks, type 4 rating etc.
So it’s good for trail riding but I’d not want to show it some big rocks/jumps/drops.

The bikes been ready for ages at a guess 814wh battery
Well then give us some hints!I’m sat in a room right now with someone who’s seen the gen. 4 and this thread is cracking him right up. So many claims from people who have no fucking idea what they are talking about.

I'm pretty sure the guy on the bike is a Specialized sales rep for Northern California.......
Hard to tell if there is a sidebar like the gen 3 levo?
Picture was taken this week, & he was riding with others on full powerd ebikes.

My oh my, how this thread digressed from rumors to people's wishlists! 
While I'm sure it's fun for some folks here to play the Specialized Product Manager role, and others to claim they have pocket Aces but keeping close to chest To me the main question would be about dates.
1) Why isn't Specialized announcing yet - delays from the motor vendor?
2) I'm sure they'd want to "pre-announce" the date, as a buildup (like they did with epic 8 I believe) so even rumors about that "splash" date would be helpful
3) It's not gonna be a fikin DJI motor, even I know that!

He wish he could 🫣Well then give us some hints!
I’m hoping it’s full MX with a 29 option
Has it…. We know there is a new brose but I’ve heard that specialized will be using a custom mahle motor for the Gen 4 given the issue with the 2.2/2.1 motor
If it is a pre production Gen 4 then it’s using a float X rather than an X2
Yeah you can
The issue with this is the speed sensor (something dgi does not address) . Most of the speed sensors count wheel rpm for speed. The difference in wheel diameter matters. In the USA EMTB’s are speed limited to 20 mph, if you have a bike with a 27.5 wheel on the back( where the speed sensor is) and you mount a 29 er the bike will stop power assist around 22 mph instead of 20mph( the speedo will read 20 mph). Why does this matter? Class 1 bikes are not allowed to assist over 20 mph so the bike would be illegal with a 29er in the rear. How do I know this? I have run a 29er on my Kenevo and I have a buddy that runs a 29er on the back of his full fat Levo.

Is this not what this channel is all about ? " -I’m sat in a room right now with someone who’s seen the gen. 4 and this thread is cracking him right up. So many claims from people who have no fucking idea what they are talking about.
"Levo Gen 4 2024 Rumours... And assorted random chat ...."
It's about wishful thinking and rumours. if you so enlightened then speak up.
You gotta love this, random dude has taped his bike with camo tape and then took picture of it and people go grazy
Looks like one of the original Levo Gen3 limited edition launch wraps :You gotta love this, random dude has taped his bike with camo tape and then took picture of it and people go grazy
Levo Gen 3 - Limited Edition Gen 3 Levo Launch Wraps
I got 20 of these to give away to Gen 3 Levo owners. Limited edition 2022 launch bike wraps. They are amazingly designed, high quality wraps and will transform your Levo into something unique - they are the exact wraps used in the Levo Gen 3 launch vid. you can’t buy them so a nice little...

I can't believe how long this bike has been delayed.
My info's 2 years old now so either they had development problems or regulation issues with the (high - above euro legislation) voltage.
In which case they've either stuck at it and finally resolved things, or they've scrapped it entirely and jumped to the other bike which was in parallel development at the time (but was less exciting - to me anyway). For this level of delay, you can't help but think the original has been shelved or pushed to be the next gen when they're ready with it and they switched to plan B.

Amazing job from Specialized keeping the info to themselves till now !
However there were some repeating details from this thread that could indicate some things like :
150mm rear travel
Not a Brose motor
800w + battery (with maybe an option for a smaller one)
Levo sl style frame
same weight as today +-
Been waiting for this bike for some time now but the 150mm rear disqualifies the bike from being a contender for 2025.
Looking got 160+ and the current leading options are the Wild and new E-riot by Ghost (for some reason not alot of new options with that travel).
Waiting to next month to make a decision with a slim hope for the bike's reveal with added travel.

The new wild sure does tick most of the boxes, definitely one of the best looking ebikes out there

Its because of the covid order crazyness and supply chain issues leading to massive stocks that are now sitting in warehouses and at the dealers. If specialized released the Gen4 already those bikes would see even bigger discounts which would also hurt the prices of the new models. Specialized is known for trying to keep their prices as high as possible and doesn't like dealers giving big discounts.
Agree, though the E-riot with the 800w (removable) battery and in toptube screen lead for me atm.
That ship has sailed a long time ago !
Specialized were the first offering massive discounts late 23' .
The reason it continues is no one knew than they were sitting on over 1B $$$ usd worth of bikes
Some are saying there’s 2 travel options, one being a longer travel version with closer to Kenevo rear travel. I think Spesh is trying to replace two bikes in one go, the outgoing gen 3 and the discontinued Kenevo.

Sound like a good way to save production money if one frame can be customized to fit different use.
Needs to learn how to set up a cockpit. Look at the stem and steerer spacers. Long negative rise stem with a lot of spacers. The spacers shorten the reach and rase the bars. The negative long stem lowers the bars and increases the reach. Just get a short stem and loose the spacers and the bars are in the same place without adding a lot of stuff that will flex.
All I know is they need to announce something soon. I’ve been going back and forth on just picking up a Crestline frame and doing a build off of that. I held off on the first batch and there’s only a few frames left for the second batch. I wanted to see what the gen 4 was going to be before I made up my mind but I’m watching the Crestline numbers dwindle. If Spesh doesn’t make an announcement soon I’m just going to snag a Crestline if there’s any left.
So is his late summer released prediction. Feb. 25 is still winter.
